T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 Round: Unpacking The Group Of Death

As the group stage of the T20 World Cup 2024 concludes on Wednesday, June 19, attention is turning to the Super 8 round. This phase promises intense matches as eight teams have advanced from the initial pool of 20.

Among the surprises, the USA has progressed further than anticipated, defying expectations in this ICC event. The Super 8 round will see these teams divided into two groups of four.

The USA finds itself in Group 2 alongside England, South Africa, and West Indies. England enters as the defending champions, while West Indies hold the record for most tournament wins with two titles. South Africa has consistently been a formidable white-ball cricket team.

This group composition could have been different if Australia had lost to Scotland on Sunday. A Scottish victory would have eliminated England from the tournament, placing Scotland in Group 2 with USA, South Africa, and West Indies.

• England
• West Indies
